Seven HVS students were selected, based on nominations and auditions, for the WMU All-Star Band, which will perform in concert at WMU on Thursday, April 14th with guest conductor/composer Julie Giroux. These students will perform along with approximately 100 high school band students selected from around the state to represent their high school band programs. There were many more applicants, and the ensemble selection process was very tough this year!
Representing our HVS Bands are the following students:
MHS:
Aaron Kowalski - Clarinet
Grace Miller - Alto Sax
Molly Weisberg - Trumpet
LHS:
Teagan Smith - Flute
Samantha Schwartz - Clarinet
Zach Zuber - French horn
Ian Day - Trombone
Congratulations to all these wonderful students! This is an incredible day filled with rehearsals, master classes, clinics, and of course, their performance at the evening concert!

A group of Junior Optimist Club members attended a two day training on the topic of peer resistance. This amazing group of 10 students are in the process of visiting fifth grade classrooms around Huron Valley Schools. They spend approximately one hour talking with the fifth graders about how to resist pressure and say “NO!” in a variety of different dangerous and destructive situations, such as drinking and vaping. These Junior Optimist Club members have enjoyed working with the fifth graders & are excited about being a positive influence!
This past weekend, the Huron Valley Alliance Winter Guard competed in their second national regional at the WGI Flint Regional competition.
